The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Section oversees the remedial activities after a release from an underground storage tank has been reported to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency . LUST Section staff review the technical adequacy of site classification plans and reports, groundwater monitoring plans and reports, corrective action plans and reports and associated budgets. This includes the development and evaluation of the appropriate remediation objectives for each site. Once the site has met its remediation objectives and program requirements, the Illinois EPA issues a No Further Remediation letter for the LUST incident. LUST staff also perform site visits, as needed.

In addition, the LUST Section reviews the technical adequacy of plans and reports for petroleum sites that have entered the Site Remediation Program. This includes the development and evaluation of the appropriate remediation objectives for each site.
